Default camshaft thrust pin spring

Hi guys, I know 2 questions in one day..... sorry.
I lost the thrust pin spring and can not locate one at all. The dealership is closed so I cant even call to check to see if they can get one. Is there another spring I could use in its place? I cant find any info on the spring rate or anything, but when it was in the bolt it really wasnt that strong. I know I have to have that setup and cant just say forget about the spring and pin, but I need something in there fast.

Fast is going be several days. :-)


Dealer part.


Comes as a package, i.e. "Pin Package". OEM part number 835002890.


$7.70 from dealer.


The 'package' consists of a Bolt, Spring, and Button.

I had to go to the dealership looking at 4 to 5 days to get it to me and it was $12.94 for the kit not to mention the $15 for new gasket kit since the last ones were all rtv'd up and ready to go on. that little spring is never getting out of my sight again!
